Poetry: I said a prayer for you today

As I knelt down today before the Lord
thanked Him for all the blessings of my day
the food on my table, the love of my family
the ability to be able to live my life, my way
a small face I saw on TV came into my mind
a child malnutritioned and starved
with eyes so huge so full of unsaid words
eyes that seemed to fill up the whole face
despair and pain filled pools of innocence
My hands lifted up in prayer, my eyes filled with tears
This is for you, the starving children of our world
This is to let you know, I maybe so far away from you
but you are never ever forgotton
From the depths of my heart and my soul
I said a prayer for you today

    I said a prayer for you today, and lit a candle as I prayed,
    And in the brightness of the flame, it was as if you'd stayed.
